Pocket God Episode 40 is launching later this week. The theme? Battle of the Gods! Sounds pretty epic, if you ask us. The trailer:

Battle of the Gods expands on Episode 39, which introduced God Idols. At the time, earning those idols was just an excuse for gamers to return to Pocket Gods' various minigames. But now they have been given an actual purpose, in a minigame of their own. The action takes place in the new Battle Arena.

In the Battle Arena, players choose four idols to take into battle with them. Each idol has one of three characteristics: Fast, Strong, or Counter. After the idols have been selected, the battles play out in what is essentially a dressed-up rock, paper, scissors fashion. In all, there are 40 Gods to defeat in combat.
